 I've checked with my better half and her advice 
is: 
  
If you are sharing your horse with someone 
specific, draw up a contract that defines who is responsible for what.  
 
  
IF you are offering your horse to the barn/stable 
owner/manager so that anyone can ride, you should draw up a contract about who 
does what and when, but also realize that anyone and everyone can ride your 
horse and you will have little say in the matter.  You could be opening 
yourself up for heartbreak.

  Subject: [RC] part-board 
  
  
  Anyone have any comments, experience, etc. with part-board? I think this is 
  the right term for it....An owner allows her horse to be used for trail riding 
  (not competitive), but the horse remains at her barn and she feeds and cares 
  for the horse. Her regular boarding arrangements include feed 
  (hay), regular turnout all year round, and 24 hour turnout in the summer 
  on pasture. The boarders pay for shoes, worming, vet bills, special feed, 
  etc. So any ideas what should or should not be included in a part-board 
  arrangement? If the horse gets a stone bruise, who pays the vet? If the horse 
  loses a shoe in the middle of the shoeing schedule, who pays the 
  farrier?  Any info. you can provide me with would be very helpful.
